The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

If you are interested, I am happy to DM that game as well... but we will keep it only a month in length, real-time. If we REALLY like it, we can make a longer-lasting sequel.

Keeping it real time sounds like a plausible idea, however before we begin we should also take into account that some of the players tend to have things to do on certain days and may not be around for two or three days at a time...but I'm confident we'll find a way around that issue.

Hmm... we'd have to find a good month for the players... and ask them if they anticipate anything happening in real life which would take up a lot of their time.

On BOTH forums? You mean the exact same RP, or two different ones based on the same topic?
It's not that uncommon. Serris did that with Darwin's Soldiers. Here it is on Furtopia, a completely different forum, with the exact same premise. He even played the same character, at least at the beginning.

Well, I have no problems with the same setting in two different sites, but I prefer the premise to be different, like my two RPs here have the same setting, but different premise, or at least, the same universe, different time and different characters.

I can't see why he would do that, but... it would make a "parallel universe" in my RP... kinda hard to keep track of, and not very conducive toward story telling. But that's just my take on it.

Actually, in regards to Darwin's Soldiers they were originally just two different stories, branching out independant of each other. It was later discovered in my story Card of Ten that the Furtopia RP was indeed the anti-matter universe, relative to the GOF RP, which is our universe. It serves to make the world of the RP bigger, I think. :)

Heh. Sounds like an explanation for why there are two different continuities. As I said, some people like it, I don't. It's cool either way.
